You can set the dataprovider of a DataGrid with a result set from MySQL
or similar.
I have an experiment with AS2 + AMFPHP + datagrid at home, so guessing
that AS3 is similar - will try and find it later if you are interested.
Although you can't do "data-binding" in the {Flex} way without the
framework - that's an implementation of the observer pattern, so you
could roll your own if you wanted. You can use the "Watcher" stuff that
comes with the framework for a pure AS3 implementation - can't remember
where it is, but look in the doc's - you can set up property watchers in
Flex AS3 which you respond to (bit like registering listeners...)

Nice one guys, thanks for the response.
Since i'm not at all into Flex, in the video he talks about binding
(and mapping them to ValueObjects).
My question is can i do this with pure AS3?
Cheers,

AMFPHP did this really well with result sets too - straight out of

For database type data, Array of Objects.
Forget about XML.
With Coldfusion (and remoting) you can grab a database query result
and just send that straight to Flash/Flex and it will be transformed
into an Array of Objects automatically.
In CF it's as simple as:
<cfset var rsResult="" />
<cfquery name="rsResult" other stuff..>
SELECT * FROM table_name
</cfquery>
<cfreturn rsResult />
Seems they're still working on mapping PHP to AS objects:
http://wadearnold.com/blog/?p=54
Allthough, the article is from sept 2008, so it may have been
implemented by now.
So if class mappings are implemented (still have to take Zend AMF
for a spin) then that's the *best* option, but probably not the
*fastest*.
At least in Coldfusion transforming plain vanilla objects into typed
objects slows things down (especially with lots of data).

Subject: [Flashcoders] Best data type for Zend AMF
Hi List,
I'm using Zend AMF, and i'd like to know what is the best way and
fastest to transfer data.
For instance; do i create an array from database data in PHP and
send it to flash? Or do i formatted array data from a database to
xml and send that to flash?
Which is the fastest? And more specifically; what datatype is the
fastest.
